29 gallon i reakon you can have to frogs in that, just tell your parents you dont need to spend money on a tank cause you already have one all you need is the accessories. |

I think the best thing is to read as much as possible about them, write down all the costs of the things that you need and how much it will cost to feed them a week and present the info to your parents. This will be a good indication that you are ready and knowledgable enough to have one. Good luck! (Also showing some of the cute pics from on here of them wouldn’t hurt, they make me want one!) |

There is another thought that has not been said..... With whites the accessories are expensive... You need a day lamp and night lamp and most likely a uth.... Then large water dishes and other decorations, temp and humidity guages, substrate, water treatment drops... screening for your tank (or you’ll get escaped crickets), timers, wood, etc.... With the cost of screening tops here its just as cheap to buy the exo terra tanks and really nice for setting up... But thats in Canada... There are some shortcuts but its a lot of work at first to get things needed and to work for frogs.. The biggest downfall with convincing parents is that frogs require live foods...crickets mainly so another set up is needed for them. Or a crickets keeper which holds say 25-30 crickets and you can give them carrot in it.. (unless your parents are willing on this...don’t get frogs. No matter what people tell you crickets is their staple).. We would gladly talk to your parents on a post if you would like too.... as they do make wonderful pets and many parents don’t realize until they have held one at a store... HOPPY |

That sounds so bad, I am an animal lover, but they yuck up that water so much! Frogs water does need to be conditioned as well. As far as setups I would recommend looking into various types to see how you want to go. Some need daily maintenance, others just minimal weekly touchups. That was important to me, that I didn’t have to tear down the tank etc. It took longer to set mine up but now I just wipe down the glass once a week and change the filter once a month or so. Do keep in mind that crickets are expensive, it will cost you a few dollars a week to feed one buying from the petstore. Then you need backups since many times they run out. I actually spend more feeding two frogs than 3 cats. Then you need to replace bulbs etc. |

What is it that takes so much time with the crickets? Do you order in bulk, store buy or breed your own? I order in bulk and other than when I go to feed my frogs (every 2 days) I don’t spend any time on them at all. I just turn over the eggcrates to dump the skeletons, put water gel in and feed probably every other time. It definitely more work than opening the fish flake can but not too much for me. |
